Why is PF Slow? Reasons & Maintenance Info

Seems like a DB write problem, I've notice, when too many people are trying to post on the same thread, or even on same section it almost hangs ..

Yeah but when someone says something monumentally dumb as occasionaly happens even on a forum of the reasonably well educated, it's not like people use wolfpack tactics, it's more like the circling pirhana attack with a ferocity reserved usually for dying or sick herbivores.

I've noticed this at work, oddly enough it gets worse at lunchtime 12pm GMT onwards, which is consistent with the overload theory I supose. That said it's fine at home but then my connection speed and computer processing power are infinitely better at home as well, I would assume that'll make a small difference too.

The performance problem should be solved now. The email issues some of you have experienced should also be solved.

Just so you know, PF is having being excruciatingly slow right now around 11:00 am Central, and has been going on for about 15 minutes. I even had a few time-out connections.

Zz.

Just duplicated a post 5-6 times for me in less than five seconds without ever indicating the submission was complete --- stalled on the fourth erasure and I had to reload to get the last excess copy killed.

I have the occasional blips where it slows for maybe five ten minutes still, but all in all it's a good deal smoother and quicker than it was. Just had one then about 12:50 BST 7:50 EST? Not a high volume time either, could be something my end though, don't know, nothing running in the backgorund though.
